Abstract

Disclosed herein are apparatus and system aspects for a camera lens flexure collar. An aspect includes an interior wall with one or more inner protrusions, an exterior wall with one or more openings, a cam located between the interior wall and the exterior wall, an actuator arm coupled to the cam and extending through the one or more openings of the exterior wall, and two flexures. The aspect operates through manipulation of the actuator arm, where manipulation of the actuator arm moves the cam and causes a force through the one or more inner protrusions of the interior wall, causing the interior wall to move in the axial direction within the stress limitations of the two flexures. In this aspect, movement of the interior wall in the axial direction can focus one or more camera lenses.
